I had a dream where I was in a jungle.... then I was being chased by a tiger.... one set of it's claws dug into my back... it was excruciating... weird thing though... when I woke up I had 4 looong scratches going all the way down my back =/
Hahah, that reminds me of this dream I had two nights ago where I found a lion cub and we were bros! And he was about the actual size of a normal lion cub, the reason I think it was? I've been with great danes before and I've seen comparison pictures of them both, I guess my subconscious threw that into my dream. Either way, the feeling of the cub's little paws on my hands were the BEST sensation that I've had
Haha that's awesome :) also <3 your pic ^.^

It's said that, when you dream, your life might be in danger sometimes; every now and again, your nightmare has you just inches from death, but you never really die.

I died in my nightmare, once.

You know how, when you wake up from a dream or nightmare, it takes you a while to recall exactly what was happening. Not for me. I woke up, and the moment of my death instantly replayed in my head once, twice, again and again.
I'm not going to lie: I was 20 when I had that nightmare, and when I woke up with the memory of my imagined death firmly in my mind, I was shaking in fear.

And of course, I can still recall exactly how that nightmare played out. I was coming out of a talent agent's office, happy as can be, for I had landed a role in a big movie, for indeed, acting is something I aspire to. Out of nowhere, in comes a guy with a big gun; one shot, and I'm down. I sucked in one final breath, twitched a little, then exhaled and became still. It wasn't until then that I woke up.

So, to answer the topic question, yes, I've felt a bad pain in my dreams. Oh, and this is beside the various "getting an injection" scenario, waking up, and feeling like I'm being injected in the exact same area as my nightmare.

I have felt pain in dreams, but never severe pain. I'd class severe pain as something so intense it made me wake up feeling a ghost of that pain as it died. And that's never happened.

My dreams always give me the niggling feeling of previous ancestory and such, or the feeling of ''I've done that.'' when I havn't.

I've never felt pain in a dream, or imagined it in that matter of fact. I do often mistake adreneline for a painful sensation when I sharply wake up though.

Do those moments when you fall off a cliff or slam into a wall and wake up in a shock count?
Whenever you have the sensation of falling while sleeping, you immediately wake up.
yeah that's what I'm talking about. Does that count?
Yes it counts (on some shape or form)
Ok well then that's my vote. :)

I often have a good old mind-fuck dream.

Physical pain would be once I sharply woke and sat up simultaeneously (a first for me) and I immediately fell back to sleep. I woke once more about ten minutes late because I was choking. On blood.

When I had sat up, I had hit my head on the lamp above my bed, leaving a 3 inch gash in my forehead. Then the pain kicked in. Ooh, it was a doozy.

For some reason I was dreaming I shot up some morphine because I was in a war and I got shot. So I shot it strait into my vein (You know, where they draw blood from) and not only did it hurt when I did it in my dream, it hurt for like 2 minutes after that. Felt real to me.

As far as I know, I haven't. But why include a "maybe" option when you already know that we either have or haven't? Why have an option that basically amounts to not voting?

I have three very specific examples, and apparently the pain I felt in the dream was somewhat like a milder version of what these various things actually feel like in real life (minus the third one, of course, but it was still pretty disturbing.)

1. Getting my arm chewed off by an alligator.

2. Getting shot in the shoulder.

3. Getting cut in half by a katana.

I have strange dreams.

Shit, I have this so often. No idea why, but everytime I dream (roughly once every two weeks to be honest) its always fucked up shit in the sense that I end up a crying emotionally distressed wreck, and all too often those feelings well carry over to when im awake (I knew I wasnt the only one!). .
I too have frequent mind fuck style dreams.

They've been very frequent lately though. It's strange. Since round June I've had vivid and crazy dreams at least 3 times a week. Some of them awesome. Some just left me going "What the fuck just happened" and there's the occasional one that sends me into such a deep emotional state of sadness that I cry for about an hour after.

Last night was one of those dreams.

Wonder what it all means...
When I'm around people I'm emotionally detached. When I'm alone I'm bordering to depressed. When I sleep, I rarely dream, and if I do, it's either one of the fucked up things that leave me thinking "why the hell would I do that? My mind is freaky <.<" or the kind that makes me even more sad/depressed than I am when I try to sleep. Somehow, that's when I start thinking about stuff. All kinds of stuff. From what I ate for lunch to something that happened 5 years ago to what I'm going to do the next day to what I'm going to talk about with that person next time to... well, anything. Most of it leaves me sad though. This world is sad. Depressing. And now I'm going to try to sleep again...

Oh, and I can never seem to fall asleep.

And to answer the real question, I'd say yes. I have. Kinda. At least emotionally. And some physical pain too. But that might be me smashing a knee/elbow/head into the wall. Still, it hurt. If you could call it that. I don't really feel pain. Or at least not in the way that it's actually painful. It actually feels pretty nice sometimes. Yea, I know, that's fucked up. And now I'm not making any sense, right? Time to try to sleep. Good night everybody!

well, idk about physical pain, but in one really real-feeling dream, this girl ( my in-dream g/f) cheated on me by becoming a pr0nstar while i was setting up a romantic date. i walked in and there was a whole film crew and she was getting DP'd in my living room. i felt so bad and the bad, distraught feeling stuck with me for the rest of the day. at least i got to murder the crew and 'actors' before i woke up, so that was good.

When I was younger I dreamt my toe was bitten by a snake. Very vivid cause it hurt. I woke up and felt the pain when I shifted, freaked me out. Found the sharp corner of a book had been poking my toe.

No, I dont think I have. I remember, after a certian age, I have been able to alter the direction of a dream if i didnt like where it was going.

I've woken up with ringing ears. Or woken up from an emotionally unstable dream with tears in my eyes. Not crying - tears in my eyes. Like I was crying till I woke up. It was weird.

On another note, I've had interlinking dreams. Like...I had a dream about this weird place, and then 2-3 weeks later, I had another dream that referenced this place. Not the same dream - a different dream, where this place was talked about. It was weird and....too surreal. Still wtfing now, and this was like a year ago.
